CMP Ford F60S
Guys,
This is my first post to the Softskin Forum. Our group of volunteers have been working on restoring a MkII carrier for our local Canadian Legion and along the way, a family donated their 1941 Ford F60S to our cause. With regards to the F60S, we would like to use it in conjunction with the MkII. It is in very good shape and it has a hoist/dump box on it. I have access to a CMP winch. Would it be blasphemous to add the winch to the frame, replace the dump box with a steel flat bed (with ramps) and add an frame mounted tower pulley, essentially turning the F60S into a simplified tilt and load? The carrier weighs 8000lbs and the F60 is a single axle 4x4. I don't want to create a Monster Truck and I do respect the historical value of the F60 just the way it is now. Our other option is to piece together a FAT with a single axle gator style trailer.
I would appreciate your comments.
